Rumors and reports have been flying recently regarding Rihanna’s sexuality. Now author Natasha Burton claims in her upcoming tell-all book Low Down Dirty Shame that she had a lesbian affair with a “Barbadian, female pop/R&B artist” that sounds a lot like Rihanna.
“I wasn’t over my ex, but talking to her helped. She was beautiful. She wore her hair short with blonde highlights, and her style was creative. I wasn’t sure I could take her serious, so I took it one day at a time. We instantly had a connection. I could listen to her for hours, discuss media, music and fashion. She would open up to me … converse with her manager in front of me, jumping on conference calls about her new project that involved her doing a soundtrack for a feature film.”
It does seem like a likely match-up to Rihanna during her Rated-R era.
A lesbian affair doesn’t seem that unlikely, considering Rihanna’s been playing with the idea of a bisexual image in videos like her steamy “Te Amo” as well as with her flirtatious displays of affection with the sometimes sexually ambiguous rapper Nicki Minaj.
Along with publicly squeezing the Minaj’s butt on stage, Rihanna has also written very sexual tweets about the rapper.
“Me and Nikki in our new crib, lol! Gettin busy on set of FLY!!! Its so hard to keep my hands off!” tweeted Rihanna from the set of Minaj’s “Fly” video.
The singer later added, “@NICKIMINAJ b***h don’t u hear me askin what my OWN name is??? Lol! My bad, I’ll make it up to u *wink*”
It all sounds so intriguing, but does it even matter anymore whose gay, straight or both? It’s baffling that such supposed revelations were worth a book deal. –nicholas robinson
